Inorganic scintillating materials and scintillation detectors

Scintillation materials and detectors that are used in many applications, such as medical imaging, security, oil-logging, high energy physics and non-destructive inspection, are reviewed. The fundamental physics understood today is explained, and common scintillators and scintillation detectors are introduced. The properties explained here are light yield, energy non-proportionality, emission w...

Liquid and solid scintillation: principles and applications

Scintillation counting is one of the most important developments in the application of radioisotopes to procedures needed by scientists, physicians, engineers, and technicians from many diverse discipline for the detection and quantitative measurement of radioactivity. In fact, Scintillation is the most sensitive and versatile technique for the detection and quantification of radioactivity. Par...

Thermodynamic Foundations of Solid-State Cooler Based on Multiferroic Materials

In view of the increasing requirements on energy saving, as well as the necessity to cool the growing number of on-chip components, the alternative cooling principles not associated with the traditional refrigerants become more and more actual. The most promising are the solid-state cooling devices, among which are widely used systems based on the Peltier effect. However, due to the low refrige...

Hierarchical Corannulene‐Based Materials: Energy Transfer and Solid‐State Photophysics

We report the first example of a donor-acceptor corannulene-containing hybrid material with rapid ligand-to-ligand energy transfer (ET). Additionally, we provide the first time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) data for any corannulene-based compounds in the solid state. Comprehensive analysis of PL data in combination with theoretical calculations of donor-acceptor exciton coupling was employed ...
